About
Palazzo Taglieschi is a Renaissance palace in Anghiari, in the Province of Arezzo, Tuscany, central Italy. It houses the Museo delle arti e tradizioni popolari dell'Alta Valle del Tevere ("Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions of the Upper Tiber Valley"), a state museum open since 1975.
The museum brings together works of art from the 14th to the 18th century, gathered from churches and historic buildings of the Upper Tiber Valley, alongside a large collection of domestic and agricultural objects connected with local folk traditions. Its best-known work is a polychrome wooden Madonna and Child attributed to Jacopo della Quercia and dated to about 1420.
